This ‘Zombie’ Class Takes A Bite Out Of Boring

By Elizabeth C.

HIS CLASS HASN’T EVEN STARTED, BUT Michigan State University’s Glenn Stutzy already earns an “A+” for engagement .

The social work instructor is marketing his upcoming class entitled “Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse: Catastrophes & Human Behavior” in a way that no doubt has other professors eating their hearts out.

To sell his class exploring how humans behave in catastrophic times, Stutzy taps into the contemporary ravenous appetite for all things decaying and undead. And he even has a humorous zombie short that’s swarming across the web.

“I’m using the Zombie thing to hopefully make the class more interesting,” Stutzy tells a “janitor” named Pete on the video. “Zombies?,” Pete responds. “They make everything more interesting.”

Parents and bureaucrats can learn a lot from Stutzy. You wanna make students hungry to learn? You want to make them salivate with eagerness? Use humor and the language of contemporary culture.
